In "my" era the early work of U2 would probably fit this mold.
In that sense, maybe I should re-imagine my "this premise isn't true" theory and say that, the music you're listening to when you're 14, that's being made right then and there, is probably the music of your life. There might be a 14-18 year old gang of deadheads out there, but I dont think the dead is the music of their lives, I think music being put out today will play that role for them, in that it puts you into that time and place again (like the image of Peter Frampton puts me back into puberty........). I dunno, maybe I'm wrong for once...

For me, in 1975, "we" were rejecting what was on the radio, ignoring it for what we liked, and had discovered thru the 1960s holdovers (brothers, Bay Area oddness, FM radio, etc.). Might be that was a unique time.
So, Stairway to Heaven SHUD be the sound track, but it's not because we turned off the radio if that came on...same thing for Eagles and the like. Where it IS true that I "love the sound now" is all the pop stuff of the 60s I heard when I was 8-12, that stuff does serve to take me back to the 60s, but the mid 70s stuff that was "on at the time" defn did not...
Ugh, "Freebird"..."Radar Love"..."Color my World"..ugh again. Sorry if this offends anyone, but these were so pop in HS and I hated them now and still do...
I guess I am distinguishing the music that you might happen to hear from the music you sought out and obsessed over...
If that makes any sense.
